John Wayne Dalton, 47, was last seen after a family reunion in Mannford, Oklahoma, in early June 1994. Known for a transient lifestyle and traveling between cities by bus, he often took cash, off-the-grid jobs and left little paper trail. He was tall and slender, about 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches, with brown hair and brown or hazel eyes.

John was close to his mother and routinely called her on her birthday; when that call never came the family reported him missing. He was unmarried with no known children. Investigators confirmed he was a military veteran, but service details or contacts from that time have not been identified in connection with his disappearance. The Mannford Police Department has kept the file open and his family has submitted DNA to national databases.

If anyone who knew John, saw him in Oklahoma or on a bus route in June 1994, or has any information that could lead to a break in the case, please come forward.
